5) Product Connection
Connect the product in accordance with this manual and valid regulation in you country. Use high quality 75 Ω
coaxial cable designed for satellite reception. The coaxial cables shall not be broken, the minimum bending
radius should be 5 cm. Mount the F connectors screw, crimp or compress type) on the ends of coaxial cables,
in the case of using the screw F connectors proceed according to the following picture and instructions:
1. Remove the outer coaxial cable coating in the length of approx. 15 mm.
2. Roll up the metal shielding braid and the shielding foil underneath and cut the shielding with
scissors to approx. 5 mm.
3. Remove approx. 10 mm of the inner plastic insulation approx. 5 mm of the insulation remains in a place).
4. Carefully screw the F connector on the cable end until the plastic insulation levels with the
F connector opening.
5. Check there is no short between the inner conductor of coaxial cable and F connector.
Connect the F connectors into the F sockets of product and fasten them with an appropriate force.
•Connect input F sockets marked “A” – “D” with convertors LNBs) outputs according to the next
table:
marking of F socket of multiswitch marking of outputs of quattro LNB
A V/L or 12V/0kHz
B H/L or 18V/0kHz
C V/H or 12V/22kHz
D H/H or 18V/22kHz
•Connect input F socket marked “TERR” with output of terrestrial antenna, eventually with output
of terrestrial amplifier or channel processing equipment
•Connect output F sockets marked “1”, “2”, “3”… with wall sockets
•Connect DC2.1 socket marked “DC 12V” with power supply
•Connect connector marked with protective bounding symbol with protective bounding conductor,
see section 10) Symbols Explanation.
The wiring examples are shown in the section 11) Wiring Diagrams or at the website www.emp-centauri.cz.

6) Product Settings
For SAT inputs, it is possible to change level of signals by means of attenuators. The minimum attenuation
is in counterclockwise stop position, the maximum attenuation is in clockwise stop position. In addition,
terrestrial input is switched to passive mode in clockwise stop position. The return path is available in the
passive mode.
Set attenuators very gently, do not turn them behind stop positions by force.
Each connected satellite receiver must be properly set up to have access to all connected LNBs. Follow
instruction manual for satellite receiver or TV set. The most common styles of setup are shown in the table:
SAT SYSTEM LNB) Setting style 1 Setting style 2 Setting style 3
A DiSEqC 1.0: 1 of 4 DiSEqC 1.0: A committed: AA
B if used) DiSEqC 1.0: 2 of 4 DiSEqC 1.0: B committed: AB
C if used) DiSEqC 1.0: 3 of 4 DiSEqC 1.0: C committed: BA
D if used) DiSEqC 1.0: 4 of 4 DiSEqC 1.0: D committed: BB
Note: DiSEqC setting may be omitted for models MS5/32EEU-14, MS5/40EEU-14, MS5/52EEU-13 and
MS5/60EEU-13.
7) Safety
Due to security reasons the product and wiring in which the product is connected, must be
grounded properly. se the terminal identified with the appropriate symbol to ground the product.
Make sure the antennas are properly protected against lightning.
Connect all devices to power grid only after all connections are finished and checked.
The product works with the AC voltage, see section 2) Technical Specifications. Make sure, that the
local AC voltage corresponds to the operating voltage of product.
No objects can be placed on the mains cord for prevent its damage or break. No hot objects should
touch the mains cord.
While disconnecting the product from power grid, never pull the mains cord but the mains plug to
prevent the mains cord damage. Pay attention that the mains plug holds tight in the mains socket.
Loose mains plug or mains socket means the danger of fire.
Never disassemble the product connected to the power grid, you risk the danger of electrical shock.
Never work on the wiring (including satellite and terrestrial receivers, TVs) during or before a storm.
A lightning stroke into the antenna may cause dangerous overvoltage in the product metallic parts.
The product should be disconnected from the wiring immediately if it gets into contact with liquids
(dropping water, spilled drinks etc.).
8) Product Maintenance
The maintenance operation is especially cleansing of the product. Always disconnect the product from
the power grid and wiring before performing any maintenance of the product. If you have to enter
places with a risk of fall, pay attention to your safety.
Use only dry cloth to clean the product and do not use any liquid agents.
Coaxial cables installed outdoors should be replaced once in a few years. Unscrew all F connectors and
clean connector contacts, resp. shorten the coaxial cable by approx. 2 cm, every 2 years.
5 of 8

Check the state of power supply and its mains cord periodically. If the mains cord or the mains plug
of product is damaged, it must be replaced by manufacturer or qualified technician to prevent any
dangerous situation. Let the product serviced if the housing of power supply is damaged.
If not used for long time, disconnect the product from the power grid.
9) Troubleshooting
In the case the product does not work and LED of power supply is on:
•Check if the terrestrial and satellite antennas are correctly fixed, optimally set and connected to
the product, satellite and terrestrial receivers turned on, plugged on and correctly set.
•Check the connector connections. The inner conductor of coaxial cable must be in contact with
the inner conductor of F socket and the shielding of coaxial cable with F connector. Replace
broken or interrupted coaxial cable.
•Sometimes the reset of the multiswitch microprocessor is enough to fix the problem. Pull out the
power plug of the multiswitch and satellite receiver from power grid and then re-plug them a few
seconds later.
In the case the product does not work and LED of power supply is off or blinks:
•Check that the product is connected to the power grid with AC voltage. If not, connect the product
to the power grid with correct AC voltage.
•Disconnect the product from the power grid and check that there is no short-circuit on the input
satellite coaxial cables, which prevents the power supplying of LNBs. If yes, remove short-circuit
and re-plug the product into the power grid again.
•The power supply can fail temporarily in case of overload or overheating. The cause can be
current consumption of devices connected to the satellite inputs of product which exceeds the
specifications, see section 2) Product Specifications. The next cause can be the overheating of
product in consequence of wrong installation, see section 4) Product Storing and Installation.
Disconnect the product from the power grid, remove the cause, and re-plug the product into the
power grid after a few minutes again.
If the failure cannot be removed, please contact your distributor.
